Subject: decompress_bunzip2: fix rare decompression failure
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2024 17:20:16 +0100

The decompression code parses a huffman tree and counts the number of
symbols for a given bit length.  In rare cases, there may be >= 256
symbols with a given bit length, causing the unsigned char to overflow. 
This causes a decompression failure later when the code tries and fails to
find the bit length for a given symbol.

Since the maximum number of symbols is 258, use unsigned short instead.
